That's awesome! I have collected these pins (mainly Twins players) for a number of years and have seen very few of the small pins.

To try and answer some of the questions.

I don't think a complete checklist exists. The Standard Catalog of Baseball cards had a checklist but it was not complete.

I'm thinking they were made for at least two years and possibly three. You are correct in that there are color and black and white versions of a number of the players. There are also different head shots that are both black and white. Here are two different Killebrew buttons that are both black and white.

I am not sure why two different sizes exist and I don't know why certain players are so difficult while others are so easy.

That's interesting, I did not know there was different head shots on some pins. This would make completing this set even more difficult than I thought. Thanks for the information.

Default Couple of New Ones...

Hi Mike, I didn't know about different poses either. I know I've posted this link before but here's my group of the 3 1/2" pins.
http://andysvintagepinbacks.homestea...969-MLBPA.html

Somebody with more energy than myself should tie together the SCD list with the contributions on this board and come up with a tentative master list.

Rob, nice one. I've never come across that one either.

I picked up these at a show last week. You know how I like the "low minor" leaguers. Paducah (Kitty League I think), and the Yuma Panthers.

Hey Andy,
Thanks for posting the photo group again. Very impressive collection. I do not have the energy to put together a checklist for these pins, but maybe somebody will. I'm sure as soon as it is "complete", another Pin would surface.

Wow! 59 cents originally. I paid $244 for my large Mays

I, also, was not aware of the different poses or the color examples. Not surprising that there are so many Killebrew pins, since the company was MN based....just like the large number of Twins player pennants.

In Andy's group (which I had somehow missed on previous visits to your site), it looks like the majority of players are a All-Star caliber.....but there are certainly some exceptions! Hate to admit, I'm not familiar with Bill Melton or Jim Hickman. Odd, also that they decided to do a Ruth and Gehrig.

As for scarcity, I had never seen the original packaging (thanks, DWR!), but that makes me think these must have been sold in dime stores and not at the ballparks. They really must not have sold that many because, whereas Mays PM-10s are a dime a dozen (figuratively speaking), these 1969 pins of Mays hardly ever turn up on eBay. Besides Mays and McCovey, Marichal is the only other Giant I know of.

I may start working on a checklist. Or not.

Default Clemente

Is anyone aware of any Clemente variations - a small pin, color photo, etc?

I have never seen a small or colored photo Clemente pin. You would think that since these were made in Minnesota the Twins players would be very easy but they actually are quite difficult to locate. Here are pictures of a few that aren't in the group photo. I have either had or seen both the Carew and Oliva in both sizes. I can't find a picture right now but I have had a few Mickey Mantle's from this series (all the same photo). They are not impossible to find.

I would love to start collecting Yankees pins from the 70's and 80's. Is there anything I need to know before starting? Is there anyway to be able to tell the fakes from real pins?

Thanks!

Mike

Hey Mike - I don't think you need to worry too much about fake 70s and 80s stuff. The PM-10 player pins (as shown above and probably more of Yankees than any other team) are faked quite often because some real deal examples are worth a lot of money. The book on the previous page, where I show my Mays, has 9 pages of Yankee pins. If you PM me your email address, I would be happy to send you pictures.

Default Reprint pins

Timely thread...I have a bunch of football pins from the 60's that I can barely give away. Nothing too rare or exceptional, but it got me do some research on Ebay to see what is out there and what things are selling for.

One discovery...I was shocked and disappointed to see how many reprint pins are being produced these days. How can you tell a reprint from the real deal? Aside from the seller telling you. I'm not a pin collector...I just buy things to have for a while then sell them when something else piques my interest...but if I was, I'd be very disappointed about this.

I know this isn't limited to pins...I was looking for a Gale Sayers rookie card over the weekend and the number of reprints I saw being offered for sale made me lose interest in the idea completely.

More of a rant than a question or productive contribution to the thread...Sorry.

I don't own any of those Standard Catalogs , probably because I'm not a "card guy." I want to pick one up now. Does it matter what year I get and/or whether they are called the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards or the Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards? I see both on the internet.

Thanks!

If you get the 2009 version, the included DVD (make sure it's still in there) has the entire guide in pdf format on it. Later guides had CDs or DVDs as well, but only had pdfs for the parts they didn't want to print in the hardcopy catalog (minor league? I may be remembering that wrong), not the entire catalog.

The "digital format" may or may not be your thing, but it sure makes searching for particular players a heckuva lot easier.

Those 69's Expos are actually pretty tough to find. If anyone can help me finish out the set, please let me know. Thanks!

I hit the wrong button and wanted to add that the guide I have doesn't list these, only the 1970 Expos. I'm not sure what a full set consists of...

Hey Andy-

Judging from Paul M's book, you lack 3 each of the 1969 and 1970 Expos series. You're almost there! Do the red, white and blue 1970s have any markings on the curl?
